The old joke of slipping on a banana peel has a hidden meaning! Know what it is?

The old joke of slipping on a banana peel has a hidden meaning! Know what it is?

We all know the joke. An unsuspecting victim is walking along, minding their own business, when all of a sudden they step on a banana peel that they don't see. That person then stumbles and falls to the ground in a typical slapstick manner. Hilarious, right? But what if we told you that the joke is symbolic of something else?




That's right—the banana peel slip joke has a hidden meaning. Are you ready for it? The joke isn't about slipping on a banana peel, it's a reference to slipping in horse manure and falling face first down into poop!




Back in the early days of cinema, comedy was considered an art form, and they thought that if they showed actual manure on stage it would ruin the art form. So, instead of shovelling manure onto a stage and ruining art, they used a banana peal to get the effect!
